Our aim was to discover nurses' attitudes towards depression and to test for the impact of education on these attitudes. Negative attitudes towards depression are one of the reasons for underestimation of depressive disorders in the community and the clinical setting. We developed a questionnaire on attitudes towards depression by using the principal component analysis. We observed overall changes in attitudes and differences in each dimension and compared them between nurses who attended education workshops and those who did not. We learnt that nurses have positive attitudes towards people suffering from depressive disorder and towards curing and healing from depression itself, but a somewhat neutral opinion on possible complications caused by depression. Overall, nurses' attendance at education workshops contributed to improvement in their attitudes. This in turn probably led to a decrease in the stigmatisation of depression.
我们的目的是了解护士对抑郁症的态度，并测试教育对这些态度的影响。对抑郁症的消极态度是社区和临床环境中抑郁症被低估的原因之一。我们通过主成分分析编制了一份关于抑郁症态度的问卷。我们观察了态度的总体变化以及每个维度的差异，并对参加教育研讨会的护士和未参加的护士进行了比较。我们发现，护士对抑郁症患者以及抑郁症的治愈持积极态度，但对抑郁症可能导致的并发症看法较为中立。总体而言，护士参加教育研讨会有助于改善他们的态度。这反过来可能导致对抑郁症污名化的减少。
